Manchester City are interested in a target from their neighbour and rival Manchester United's last summer transfer window.
Last season, Antoine Semenyo already showed very fine performances with Bournemouth, as evidenced by the 11 goals scored and 6 assists from the winger in the Premier League. The start of the 2025-26 campaign is even more promising with 4 goals scored and 2 assists provided after only 6 matchdays. Antoine Semenyo is moreover the most decisive player in the English championship, after the unstoppable Erling Haaland.
Manchester United are clearly not insensitive to the charm of the 25-year-old player. The English club tried their luck this summer, in vain since the Ghanaian international (28 caps) extended his contract on 1st July. However, according to TBR Football, this does not stop Manchester United who have not abandoned this track. The British media add that Manchester City are also following Antoine Semenyo's progression.
Manchester derby to come for Antoine Semenyo?
This interest from the Citizens is bad news for Manchester United, because the Manchester rival are in better form and above all offer the possibility of playing in the Champions League. It should be noted that Tottenham and Aston Villa have also made contact. Although he is tied until 2030 with Bournemouth, the former Bristol City player risks being highly sought after during the winter transfer window.
For Manchester United, the recruitment of an attacking player is far from being a priority. The Red Devils have already reinforced well in this sector this summer and above all need a midfielder and a centre-back. However, if the opportunity presents itself, Manchester United will jump at the chance. They will have to pay out at least £34.2m to hope to secure the services of Antoine Semenyo.
